How to filter Spam for MS Outlook

• In order to filter spam or mails in MS Outlook, we will need to filter certain words in the email so that I will be able to put it into the mail box location that we want.
• For example, spammers may use the word "BUY ME" or the phrase "debt consolidation", we will create a filter to key in on these words and phrases and move all mail containing these words to the SPAM folder for later review.
• The reason why we move them to a folder rather than deleting them is so that we catch any mail that may have been trapped by the filter.
